A 3-3 start usually does not cause a volleyball team to celebrate six matches into the season. However, the Knoxville Volleyball Squad is likes the start. Coach Eric Fee says while the three-and-three start is good, they did have opportunities to beat Perry and Newton in last week’s A-D-M invitational. He adds the girls are gaining confidence every day in practice. Knoxville hosts Little Hawkeye Conference favorite Pella Christian this Thursday in the Panthers’ home opener.
